I just started using Material UI version 5. Originally to use my custom theme's styles, I would use makestyles, but it seems that does not work in v.5. My themes are on their own component, and to import those, I used {createTheme} instead of the old {createMuiTheme}. I have my theme imported into the Parent component as usual and have it set up as <ThemeProvider theme{theme}></ThemeProvider>.
Now, on my other component, I again was trying to use useStyles, but it was not working because it is not used in version 5. I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to convert it so that it can be used in version 5. Here is some of the unfinished code I was working on:
const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
logo: {
height: "8em",
marginLeft: "0.2em",
},
tabContainer: {
marginLeft: "auto",
},
tab: {
...theme.typography.tab,
minWidth: 10,
marginRight: "50px",
opacity: 1,
"&hover": {
color: theme.palette.common.purple,
textDecoration:"none",
},
},
}));
export default function Navigation(props) {
const classes = useStyles();
const [value, setValue] = useState(0);
const handleChange = (e, value) => {
setValue(value);
};
const refreshPage = () => {
window.location.reload();
};
useEffect(() => {
switch (window.location.pathname) {
case "/":
if (value !== 0) {
setValue(0);
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}, [value]);
return (
<React.Fragment>
<ElevationScroll>
<AppBar
position="relative"
style={{
borderBottom: "2px solid black",
}}
>
<Toolbar disableGutters>
<img src={logo} alt="nasa logo" className={classes.logo}/>
<Typography variant="h1" style={{ textAlign: "center" }}>
Nasa<br></br>Photos
</Typography>
<Tabs
value={value}
onChange={handleChange}
className={classes.tabContainer}
indicatorColor="primary"
>
<Tab
className={classes.tab}
component={Link}
onClick={refreshPage}
to="/"
label="Home"
/>
</Tabs>
</Toolbar>
</AppBar>
</ElevationScroll>
</React.Fragment>
);
}I have read about the xs property and I have also heard of the styled() through Material UI's documentation, but I am having a hard time applying it to the code that I have written and would like a push in the right direction.
So to edit what I had earlier, I am going to also add my Theme.js file as well. I thought that this has been done correctly, but again it isn't reading my tab nor my palette.
import {createTheme} from "@mui/material/styles";
const pink = "#FFC0CB";
const lightblue = "#ADD8E6";
const purple = "#800080";
const black = "#000000";
const theme = createTheme({
palette: {
common: {
pink: pink,
lightblue: lightblue,
purple: purple,
black: black
},
primary: {
main: pink,
mainGradient: "linear-gradient(to left, purple, pink)",
},
secondary: {
main: lightblue,
mainGradient: "linear-gradient(to right, lightblue, pink)"
},
},
typography: {
tab: {
fontFamily:"Orbitron",
textTransform: "none",
fontSize: "2.5rem",
color: black,
},
h1: {
fontFamily: "Orbitron",
fontSize: "2.5em"
},
h2: {
fontFamily: "Orbitron",
fontSize: "2.5em"
},
subtitle1: {
fontFamily: "Orbitron"
},
subtitle2: {
fontFamily: "Orbitron",
fontSize: "1.5rem"
},
buttons: {
fontFamily: "Orbitron",
textTransform: "none"
},
},
});
export default themeI have imported my theme into my App.js file which is my top level file, I will include that here just in case something has been done wrong with that:
import React,{useState} from "react";
import PicOfDay from "./Components/PictureOfDay";
import Navigation from "./Components/Navigation";
import {
Typography,
} from "@mui/material";
import {ThemeProvider} from '@mui/material/styles'
import theme from "../src/ui/Theme";
import {BrowserRouter as Router} from "react-router-dom";
function App(props) {
const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date());
return (
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
<Router>
<Navigation date={date} setDate={setDate} />
<Typography
variant="h1"
style={{fontSize: "5rem", textAlign: "center", marginTop:"2rem"}}
>
Astronomy Picture of the Day
</Typography>
{/* <PicOfDay date={date} /> */}
</Router>
</ThemeProvider>
);
}
export default App;I did look at some documentation a couple of you sent me, and I was looking at the troubleshooting part where it said "[Types] Property "palette", "spacing" does not exist on type 'DefaultTheme'" because makeStyles is exported differently and it does not know about Theme. There seems to be a snipet to put in a typescript project (which I am not running, I am using javascript) and there was a section to add a ts file to my javascript and put the snippet it recommended, which I tried, but am I missing something because it did not do anything and I am not sure if I need to put something in my App.js file in order for it to read that?
import {makeStyles} from "@mui/styles"and it still is not working. I notice in my vs code when hoovering over my spread of...theme.typography.tabandcolor: theme.palette.common.purpleit says (parameter) theme: DefaultTheme, when it used to in v.4 say (paramter) theme: Theme – Repressive
